It has been a long time since I have read this book. Not my favorite series. I like this book. You get introduced to the main character that is present throughout the series. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.

I didn't like this book at all. The characters were boring and not fleshed out. I rated this book a 2 out of 5 stars.

This book was absolutely hilarious! I laughed out loud so many times. If you like film references, simultaneously embracing and bashing Hallmark Christmas movies, and a irritation-to-easy friends-to-star crossed lovers facing an seemingly impossible situation (not world-ending stakes) that makes use of many a Rom-Com trope, then you will enjoy this book!

H_Eastman Watching Luke constantly challenge his own views on romance, feelings, and relationships was amusing and sweet at the same time. It was a bittersweet contrast to Ellie learning she can actually trust herself and her ability to make decisions for her future. 2mo

This is brilliant bad cover work here - originally published/set in 1932, the main character of this story would probably literally rather die than show her bare midriff/legs in public😂 Love these 80s covers that try to make GLH look spicier.

This is typical GHL work - sweet, hardworking, poor girl receives help from a kind, goodhearted fellow and everyone ends up rich and happy in the end, with a dose of Jesus throughout. Not for everyone, ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) but sometimes she just hits the spot for me. Not my favorite, but ... 3.5*. It's okay. 😂

A collection of short stories by GLH, these were much more focused on religion than romance. Some were heavy-handed allegories, while others were just straight stories about someone realizing something important. If you're not a Christian, you probably won't enjoy these. However, I found it quite interesting to see how many of the issues Hill saw within the church almost a hundred years ago are still areas of controversy today, and I actually did⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) find these making me think about aspects of my own life and faith. I appreciate that she doesn't try to pretend that these aren't exactly what they are: short, simple stories to make her Christian readers think.

Peculiar Treasures was my very first RJG title 16 years ago. I instantly felt like these fictional characters were friends and we were figuring out life together. How mad and simultaneously excited was I to learn that despite this being book #1 that there were 27 books before this in various series and many that have been written since that only intensifies my feelings of holding these forever friends deep in my heart...

MaggieCarr ...As much as I enjoyed this book my first time through, it was simply even better with all the back stories, as well as enjoying them together as rereads on book club. ❤️ 6mo

This is third in a sibling trilogy, and although they can be read alone, I recommend reading them in order.
Luke Edgewood has journeyed to the European island country of Skymar (fictional), where two of his sisters have met their matches, to work on a renovation project for an orphanage there. He meets Ellie St. Claire, the project manager, who unbeknownst to him, happens to be the youngest princess of the realm. As these two are almost 🔻

robinb immediately attracted to each other and their relationship develops, it seems that their chance at happiness is doomed. She cannot abdicate her duties, he has a business and family awaiting him in the US.

I really enjoyed this story, but maybe not quite as much as its two predecessors, and honestly I‘m not sure why. Luke is a one-in-a-million guy, Ellie is sweet and is working hard to restore her reputation from party girl to responsible 🔻

robinb royal, and Luke‘s sisters provide loving support as well as some hilarious comic relief along the way.
Well-written and enjoyable trilogy. I recommend them all. 4.25/5⭐️

robinb @Laughterhp I‘ve really enjoyed it! The first two include lots of texts between the siblings, this last one maybe not as much. Each have their own distinct personalities. The stories/characters are charming and good-hearted, and I plan to check out the author‘s backlist. This is the first in series, and I‘d love to hear what you think. 😊 6mo
Laughterhp I was going to get on audio and then it said lots of letters, texts, emails and that annoys me on audio. So I requested the ebook from my library! 6mo
robinb @Laughterhp I was first iffy about the text thing…sometimes it works for me, sometimes not so much. It‘s not for everyone and can be annoying for some. But in this case I felt it added so much to the charm/depth and was honestly very happy with it as a device. It also added lots of humor. And yes! I don‘t think this would work well in audio…too confusing. 6mo
